Description

The Hound Of The Baskervilles (20th Century Fox, 1939).
Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The first of 14 Sherlock Holmes movies made with Basil Rathbone and
Nigel Bruce, this classic tale by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would
establish Rathbone as the definitive Sherlock Holmes. Taking place
in both London and the lonely, barren moors of Devon, this
intriguing mystery centers around the wealthy Baskerville family
and their country estate. When the lord of the manor supposedly
dies of a heart attack, an ancient legend of a hellish hound
roaming the moors and seeking vengeance against the Baskervilles
has the locals believing he didn't die of natural causes. Holmes is
invited by Dr. Mortimer (Lionel Atwill) to investigate the matter,
so he and his sidekick Watson head to the gloomy West Country where
the exciting adventure of superstition and revenge unfold. This
title card had a small tear in the bottom right corner, a small
chip in the top border, a chip in the top left corner and a very
small nick in the top right corner, all of which have been expertly
addressed through professional restoration, making this rare,
stunning card a fantastic find for any collector. Fine+.
